On April 30th, the Haitian Times newspaper based in New York City organized a press conference at the Press Cafe in Petionville, Haiti. The purpose of the conference was to inform the press in Haiti of the upcoming Kreyolfest concert, which will take place in Brooklyn, New York on June 28th, 2009.
In the conference were invited many journalists from all over Haiti and Port-au-Prince.

During Kreyolfest 2009, there will be many compas and racine groups, and for the first time, we’ll get to see the raps groups Barikad Crew and Rockfam on the same stage, which means a lot of red and black bandanas!
